"The teacher and conductor Luca Marioni, nicknamed the bastard by the students, is edgy, certainly human, but he doesn't accept any mistakes, here he exceeds in tones.

The stubbornness he demonstrates in the musical field is the same as there must be in acting. The series highlights the culture that let's face it we've lost sight of a bit lately. For Luca, art does not accept mediocrity, and in the episodes of the second season once again we talk about sacrifices and the will to make it. Each of these students has a talent and a dream.
